Head Coach
Chris Rhodes
11th Year Edinboro ‘95
F
ormer Edinboro AllAmerican Chris Rhodes was appointed the head swim ming coach at his alma mater in October of 2001. He competed for Edinboro from 1991 95, earning AllAmerican honors in 199394 and 199495 as a member of freestyle relay teams. He also earned AllPSAC honors and set a school record as a member of the 200 freestyle relay team. That relay team finished second at the NCAA Division II National Championships and set a con ference record that stood for six years. A key part of legendary teams while a swimmer at Edinboro, Rhodes’ goal since taking over has been simple yet ambitious to return the Fighting Scots to a promi nent spot in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. Rhodes has spent his first seven years building the foundation, and he has begun to see some of the fruits of his efforts the last few years. A number of young swimmers have qualified for the PSAC Championships, and Zak Clifford earned honorable mention All American honors in 2010 in the 200yard backstroke. Both the men’s and women’s teams enjoyed national rankings during the 2010 11 season, with the men rising to No. 4 in the NCAA Division II poll and the women
Page 3
to No. 11. Fighting Scots swimmers set multiple school records at the PSAC Championships last year, with the men taking third place and the women seventh at the conference meet. The third place ranking for the men was the strongest performance for the Fighting Scots since 1994 when the team took second. Tony Romanini led the squad by setting two individual school records at the PSAC Championships. On the women’s side, Marie Nedley closed her collegiate career by qualifying for the NCAA Championships in San Antonio, her third trip to Nationals while at Edinboro. There she finished 18th in the 1,650yard freestyle, 25th in the 1,000yard free and 35th in the 500yard free. Academics have also been a major part of Rhodes’ agenda. His women’s teams have earned AllAcademic honors every semester but one, and the men’s team has earned similar honors. Rhodes began his coaching career as an assistant swimming coach at Titusville High School in 199697, then moved on to Ashland University, one of the top pro grams on the Division II level, as an assis tant swimming coach while completing work on his master's degree in Reading, which he received in August 1999. He coached a twotime national champion while at Ashland. Rhodes returned to western Pennsylvania as the assistant swimming coach at Oil City Area High School for the 19992000 season. He has also served as the head coach of the Stroke Development Camp at Westminster College. In addition, he has been a Reading Specialist in the Oil City Area School District. Rhodes graduated from Edinboro in December 1995 with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. He and his wife Stephanie reside in Edinboro, along with their sons, Greysen (3), and Griffin, born March 31, 2009. He is a member of the College Swim Coaches Association of America and the American Swimming Coaches Association.
